OBS basics and video creation
Power at the tip of your fingers
So this is more of a side note. As some may have seen in the last uHH I’ve added some pop up effects into the show. Most streamers use the Elgato Stream Deck for this kind of work, which is a very efficient way to do it. But also pricey.
This being a non-profit just for shits and giggles show I looked for free alternatives and I found Touch Portal. It’s a piece of software for PC/Mac that interfaces with your streaming software. The accompanying app (Android/iOS) then turns your phone or tablet into a streamdeck.
For OBS you need to install a plugin to get everything to work but that’s all explained in the tutorials on the Touch Portals website.
In the free version you have 2 pages of 2×4 buttons you can adjust to what ever you want. (Though one button on each page is needed to switch from one side to the other leaving you with not 16 but 14 useable buttons)
It works, it’s fun and I’m looking for some loony stuff to put in there.
